''The Latter-day Saints’ Millennial Star'' (usually shortened to ''Millennial Star'') was the longest continuously published periodical of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, being printed in England from 1840 until 1970, when it was replaced by the Church-wide ''Ensign''. ==History== The first issue of the ''Millennial Star'' was published in Manchester, England in May 1840, with Latter Day Saint Apostle Parley P. Pratt as editor and W. R. Thomas as printer.〔See the vol. 1. no. 1, May 1840 issue.〕 First mention of the newspaper being sold in Liverpool appeared in March 1842〔The reference is made in the printing information at the end of the number: ''Millennial Star'', March 1842, p. 176〕 and printing was officially moved to Liverpool with the April 1842 issue.〔Liverpool became the printing location mentioned in ''Millennial Star'', April 1842, p. 192.〕 Pratt was eventually replaced as editor by Thomas Ward.〔Parley P. Pratt, ("Farewell Address to Our Readers and Patrons" ), ''Millennial Star'', October 1842, pp. 109-10.〕 When Ward left England, the ''Star'' was thereafter edited or supervised by mission presidents of the church's European Mission, based in England. When Orson Pratt was called as mission president in 1848, he also became the editor and publisher of the ''Millennial Star''. In his first issue as editor, he also printed an address to the members and missionaries of the church.〔Orson Pratt, ("President Orson Pratt's First General Epistle to the Saints throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Adjacent Countries, Greeting" ), ''Millennial Star'', 15 August 1848, pp. 241-47.〕 During its 130-year history, the ''Millennial Star'' varied from being monthly, semi-monthly and even weekly, and was primarily aimed at British Latter-day Saints. Due to the Priesthood Correlation Program of the church that sought to encourage uniformity and extend control over printed materials, the ''Millennial Star'' was replaced by ''Ensign'' at the end of 1970. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millennial Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
